Fallen from the Crust, Jacksonville, Florida, March 31, 1906

Fallen from the Crust, Jacksonville, Florida, March 31, 1906
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of unique or outrageous hats.

This is a real photo postcard sent from Jacksonville, Florida, to Newton, New Hampshire, on March 31, 1906.

Printed on the other side: "Post Card, Souvenir, Jacksonville. J. A. Hollingsworth, Tourist Photographer, Hogan St., Opp. Park Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla."

Message written on the front: "Jacksonville, Fla., March 31. Whatever you do, don't come to Florida. Look at this picture and see how we have 'fallen from the crust.' Am so weak that I can hardly manage my auto. Hope to be better by tomorrow. Will."

If Will could afford an automobile like the one he's pretending to drive, then he must not have "fallen from the [upper] crust," as he jokingly suggests.

See a cropped version for a better view of Will and his wife, their hats, and the automobile.

Some hats and a fun example of the theme. I don't understand his reference to having "fallen from the crust", however. When I first looked at the photo, I thought it might be Sigmund Freud taking his id for a spin.

Oh my goodness, that's obviously Sigmund! I wonder what he was doing in Florida.
